It took me several minutes of reading the list of tickets in that ‘component’ to find that ticket. > So I'm not an expert in shell or anything. I know there are a lot of > gotchas.

Several things: * pgrep isn't POSIX, and it isn't in GNU coreutils (as of version 8.13), so it probably won't exist on someone's Linux system. * pgrep only indicates that there is some process named “tor” (or “vidalia”) running, not that the specific Tor or Vidalia shipped in TBB is running. * There is currently no way for any program not started by TBB-Vidalia to determine which ports TBB-Tor is listening on, and there is no way for any such program to determine what control-port password Torbutton will need in order to send TBB-Tor a ‘SIGNAL NEWNYM’ command (required for the ‘New Identity’ command to work).
